To Spend Money on a Website or Not
That is the Question
|
|
| For the past several years, I have consistently observed websites with a significant amount of programming errors, leading to a high number of site visitors not turning into leads and, consequently resulting in a loss of income for the business.
I have observed that this is due to cheap websites full of errors, and has led to a perceived decrease in the value of a website in some business owners’ eyes. |
|
| When one opens a dental practice, for example, the investment for equipment, signage, and renovation is significant. A restaurant would be similar, with signage, tables, equipment, refrigeration, renovations, and more. I have heard that the dollars for this can range between $100,000 – $250,000 and can go up from there. I personally know of one contractor who spent a small fortune making a showroom in California – well over $250,000 USD. |
|
|
| After businesses have taken care of all those costs, the next thing I often hear is, “I don’t have any money left in the budget for a website so need something cheap and quick,” or “I have someone in the family/a friend who will do this.” |
|
| Each year, a significant amount of our business is dedicated to fixing websites to comply with search engine standards and ensure that websites effectively turn leads into calls, form submissions, subscriptions, direct sales, etc., generating income for your business.
While repairing websites is part of our business and we are not only happy to do it but also very good at it, wouldn’t it be more advantageous to have a well-designed website right from the start? |

|
| Well then, let’s look at this. A website serves as your 24/7 online storefront, making it not just important but possibly even more crucial than other business expenditures. It stands as the initial point of contact, potentially influencing whether or not your visitors transform into clients.
Neglecting the significance of your website could result in losing these prospects, ultimately leading to lost income. Therefore, allocating the necessary importance – and budget – to your website is essential for business success. |

| In the process of constructing a single website, I observed the collaborative efforts of seven members of our team who actively contributed to its’ development.
The era of entrusting the creation of your website to a single individual or a friend is long gone.
